Okay, bloggy friends. I need your help. (Yes, again.)<\/p>\n
In the last couple of weeks<\/s> months, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve gotten into the habit of only buying two or three meals worth of food at the grocery store. Three days later, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m back in the grocery store again, agonizing over what to make. Two trips a week to the grocery store is neither fiscally prudent, nor incredibly efficient.<\/p>\n
The reason is a complete lack of inspiration in the meal-planning department. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never been overly fond of my role as chief meal planner, but in the last little while, it has become an arduous task. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even mind the actual cooking, one I get going; I just can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think of anything to make. My meal-planning list has been reduced to five or six meals in heavy rotation, and frankly, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all getting a little sick of them.<\/p>\n
The rotation lately has mainly consisted of spaghetti, chili con carne, tortellini, lasagne, and tacos. Yawn! We need some variety. I pawed through my cookbooks a couple of times (I have all the books in the Looney Spoons<\/a> collection \u00e2\u20ac\u201c LOVE them!) so I can even come up with a few main dishes. But then there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the whole \u00e2\u20ac\u0153what goes with it\u00e2\u20ac\u009d side-dish conundrum.<\/p>\n Seriously, I need your ideas. Desperately! What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your favourite easy, healthy family meal? From soup to nuts, spell it all out \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and if you want to leave me a recipe or two, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m willing to try just about anything at this point!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, bloggy friends.
